Looking at maybe doing a little more solo fishing this year and looking for opinions on best solo net. I have a Drifter Predator xxl and love it, but might be difficult to use by myself.

I had the heavy net Frabil powercatch for a year and got rid of it as it was hard to handle by myself in a wind. I went back to a Beckman net, but have upgraded the net to something just a touch heavier (clam netting) as I found the bag on the beckman does not stay open like their older fin-saver nets. My original beckman was perfect with the square mesh on the bottom....opened up perfectly like a little pen. The new netting when beckman came back out again doesn't do that...
